ABSTRACT:
An adjustable cover and seating system for a wheelchair. The cover has a first or enclosing portion surrounding the inner seat members and a second or skirt portion extending about the sides of the first or enclosure portion and downwardly under the lower section of the enclosure portion. The first or enclosure portion of the cover can be placed over the seating members and secured in place by a zipper to encase the seating member. The skirt section can then be pulled to draw the skirt section downwardly which, in turn, draws the upper section of the enclosure portion snugly across the top of the seating members. In doing so, the peripheral side section of the enclosure portion is also drawn downwardly on itself into gathers or bunches which are held firmly in place against the seating members by the skirt section. This serves to present a neat outer appearance to the user and to prevent excess material from catching in the spokes of the wheelchair. The seating system includes a unique slit or cut-out fluid pad forming sides which can be positioned to straddle a removable accessory such as an abductor. Additionally, the sides can be placed substantially adjacent each other on the base seating member when the removable abductor is not used.
